Hey @williamlnd! Based on this line:

It sounds like your Block Storage volume isn't properly assigned or mounted.
Most commonly the /dev/sda disk will be the main compute instance disk that 'ships' with your Linode. Often by default, Block Storage Volumes are assigned to /dev/sdc. Though, you may need to assign this block device in your Linode's configuration profile.
If you don't see your Block Storage volume listed within your Linode's Linux system, check to make sure that 1) the volume is assigned in your Linode's block device assignment within your Linode's configuration profile (as noted above) or 2) make sure the volume is attached to and mounted within your Linode. You can click the "Show Config" option under your Block Storage volume in Cloud Manager to view your volume configuration commands. If you've already run these, then you just need the mount command (3rd line).
After attaching and mounting, you should be able to see your Block Storage volume of 1000GB listed in addition to your 50GB compute disk. Feel free to open a Support ticket if you still have issues with this.
